The View-Splash-Rawhide Post Mortem: Lots O' Observations

I certainly was not expecting to keep the post-mortems up given that I'm now working out 6 days a week--and getting up early for each one, but bizarrely I find myself doing my normal Tuesday night pattern.

• Gwen Stefani is at least a decade older than I am. She has no business referring to herself as a "girl" (I gave up "boy" when I turned 21) nor can she gallivant about like a high school cheerleader. That being said, her music is very good.
• If the Benetton becomes a Wachovia, then what does that say about Chelsea?
• The go-go boys @ Rawhide are still skanky. I think the "New York's best" tagline should be removed.
• If you're drinking solo, the last thing you want to be privy to is a fag and his hag dancing to "Dancing Queen"--especially if they appear to be younger than yourself.
• RuPaul's video for "Workout" is disturbingly cheap. The whole premise seems to be "let's put RuPaul in front of a cement wall, change her hair a couple of times, but avoid changing her outfit."
• Why does "Since U Been Gone" get the young queens excited? I know Kelly Clarkson is the first "American Idol," but still...
• I am not considering my twenties complete until I have sex with Rod Barry.
• While I like the bartenders over @ Splash personality-wise, there's a lot of distended (read: likely steroid use) stomach over there.
• At some point in life, everyone--especially gay men--should try to re-enact house music videos on 25th street between 6th & 7th Avenues. My specific recommendation: "Alomszep" by Karanyi out of this year's Hungarian National Final.
• True masculinity comes from being who you genuinely are as opposed to subscribing to what you think masculinity is.
• I hate to say this, but The View does actually edge out Splash in terms of music video selection.
